Effective Handling of Substantial Arterial Air Embolization During Extracorporeal Perfusion
This report highlights the need for a coordinated approach to substantial arterial air embolization, considering the high risk of neurologic injury.
Glial Fibrillary Acid Protein and Cerebral Oxygenation in Neonates Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
The potential value as a biomarker for cerebral injury after neonatal cardiac surgery warrants further investigation; in particular, the association with neurodevelopmental outcome needs to be determined.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Perioperative Care of the Lung Transplant Patient
Future studies will need to improve patient selection to fully take advantage of the use of ECMO in LT while minimizing its costs.
Development of a Prototype Anti-Pollution Filter for Volatile Anesthetics
The new version of our prototype filter adsorbed most of the volatile anesthetics agents during an ex-vivo simulated conventional cardiopulmonary bypass test.
2019 EACTS/EACTA/EBCP Guidelines on Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adult Cardiac Surgery: a Tool to Better Clinical Practice
‘To improve the outcome of adult patients undergoing heart surgery’
Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality in Adult Postcardiotomy Cardiogenic Shock Patients Successfully Weaned from Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Sequential organ failure assessment score might help clinicians to predict in-hospital mortality for patients successfully weaned from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Differences Between Central Venous and Cerebral Tissue Oxygen Saturation in Anaesthetised Patients With Diabetes Mellitus
We hypothesised that diabetes widens the physiological saturation gap between ScvO2 and rSO2 (gSO2), and the width of this gap may vary during various phases of cardiac surgery.
Biocompatibility of a Polymer-Coated Membrane Possessing a Hydrophilic Blood-Contacting Layer: Adsorption-Related Assessment
Thus, acrylate-based copolymer coating could inhibit the adsorption of various peptide compounds.
Current Neurologic Assessment and Neuroprotective Strategies in Cardiac Anesthesia
Our data indicate that approximately half of the respondents to this SCA survey do not use standardized guidelines/standard operating procedures for perioperative cerebral protection.
Escape Into Patient Ssafety: Bringing Human Factors to Life for Medical Students
More thorough evaluation of larger pilots is recommended to continue exploring the effectiveness of escape rooms as a teaching method.
Myocardial Protection in the Arterial Switch Operation: Custodiol Versus Cold Blood Cardioplegia
The optimal myocardial protective solution in the neonatal arterial switch operation remains controversial.
